Quote: "How to change the resolution

In PureGDK only the resolution of the render window can be specified at runtime. Additional steps are necessary to change the resolution of the user's screen and also to perform non-destructive resizing (resizing the window without changing its resolution). Refer to MSDN for the Win32 function "ChangeDisplaySettings" for more information.

..

PureGDK supports only the full screen windowed method of creating full screen applications. Full screen exclusive mode is not supported by PureGDK.

..

Unlike DarkBasic Professional, PureGDK does not stretch the resolution of the render window by default. If you want to use a lower resolution at a higher screen size then you can resize the window yourself."

------------------
Bug fixes:
- dbCameraExist no longer has a default parameter.
- Fixed a few erroneous command names:
* dbLockpixels -> dbLockPixels
* dbStopRecodingSound -> dbStopRecordingSound
* dbGetBackbufferWidthWidth -> dbGetBackbufferWidth

Updates:
- Document commands are also now verified against existing commands in the template libraries to eliminate the documenting of erroneous parameters and non-existent commands. The documentation itself has gotten a major visual overhaul as well.
- The documentation builder now has the ability to create .chm documentation for multiple languages using shared templates. Any change to the documentation will propegate to every targeted language.
- Added runtime error constants to PureGDK.gdt as well as the documentation. Every command which returns an error is now documented.
- Added the dbSetD3DDeviceCallback command for recovering from an invalid render device.
- dbSyncRate now uses DBP's more accurate frame rate limiter.
- Added '-v' parameter to buildlibs.exe to provide additional verbose output for aggregating command documentation. Several parameters for this tool have also been adjusted for consistency.
- Updated the SDK specification and plugins to support verbose output and new arc/argv parameters. Changes are incompatible with previous beta SDK releases.
- Specifying an ID explicitly for creation and load commands which would normally accept an ID is now optional. Many commands have had their parameters reordered for support this behavior.

- New commands:
* dbIsAdvancedTerrain
* dbIsCloth
* dbIsCollider
* dbIsEffector
* dbIsEmitter
* dbSetD3DDeviceCallback
* dbSetNVPerfHUD

- Renamed commands to be more specific and/or consistent with other commands:

PureGDK 2.0 beta 8
------------------
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a bug in Matrix.gdt which was preventing dbCreateMatrix from evaluating correctly.

Updates:
* The installer now creates start menu entries with links to the documentation, projects, and useful batch files.
* The installer now checks for licensing errors when it builds the engine dll during installation an will report the offending library if a problem has occurred.
* The installer now checks checks for the existence of a DarkBasic Professional and will provide useful information about where to download it if it cannot be found. This is in contrast to previous versions which simply asked for a directory path.
* The installer now verifies whether a compatible version of DarkBasic Professional has been selected. It will not continue unless the correct version (at least 7.7) has been detected. It will also provide useful information about where to download it if it was not detected.
* The installer now verifies that the engine dll has been created successfully after calling gdkc.exe.
* Various other small bits of polish, fixing typos, and textual changes to the installer."

PureGDK 2.0 beta 9
------------------
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a bug where plugin headers were not evaluating their include path correctly.

Updates:
* The documentation has received a lot of polish for this release including font style, text placement, new topics, index revisions, as well as a few minor bug fixes.
* puregdk_cpp.chm and puregdk_purebasic.chm have been merged into puregdk.chm. All documentation for language targets have been split into aliased folders within the Library/ path of the documentation. Searching the index will now provide links to all supported languages to eliminate ambiguity.
* Added new entries for PureBasic and C++ fundamentals, source examples in the documentation, and full walkthroughs on how to setup a project in PureBasic, Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
* Vector and matrix structures now use their fully-qualified name by default (Vector2 vs. v2) for clarity."

Quote: "PureGDK 2.0 beta 10
------------------
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a bug where plugin headers were not evaluating their include path correctly (really fixed it this time).
* Corrected some parameter name conflics that were illegal in C++ in a few third-party plugin templates.
* Fixed the PureBasic plugin examples to use the new parameter order convention update from beta 7.
* Fixed a bug with the C++ language plugin where return types for anything other than an integer weren't being resolved correctly for doubles and 64-bit integers.
* Fixed a bug with the C++ language plugin where function call typedefs for polymorphized functions were not being enumerated.
* Fixed a bug where dbCreateObjectTriangle was erroneously passing the wrong parameter type, causing it to fail.

Updates:
* Updated Sparky's collision library to support the latest 2.05 release.
* Updated the D3DFunc library to support the latest 3.7.1 release.
* PureGDK now also copies over the TGC certificates viewer application to help you verify whether a commercial plugin you've installed is properly licensed.
* Included plugin templates for third-party plugins have been reevaulated for consistency. Various prefixes have been adjusted align to the prefix-underscore convention.
* Updated the D3DFunc library to conform to beta 4 optional parameter specification.
* Added example C++ projects for DarkAI, DarkClouds, DarkLights, and DarkPhysics.
* The PureGDK installer will now build the gdkengine.dll with commercial and user plugins by default.
* Added support for IanM's Matrix1Util library plugins 9, 12, 18, and 26.
* Merged legacy third-party templates into a single file per-library instead of one file per-dll; to be resolved to a single header.
* gdkc.exe and buildlibs.exe now print their errors to stderr instead of stdout.""

- Fixed a bug where dbDot with the optional color parameter did not set the ink color as expected.
- Fixed a bug in the documentation builder where command cross-references were not parsing outside of the library currently being evaluated.

Updates:
- Added dbCloseScreen to all example projects where it was missing.
- Added an entry for dbCloseScreen to the documentation under "Fundamentals".
- Tweaked gdkc.exe parameter prefixes to be more consistent.
- Fixed a typo in the buldlibs.exe commandline help.
- Corrected formatting inconsistencies and innacurate constant references in the documentation.
- Renamed dbSprite to dbCreateSprite to be more consistent with other commands names and reordered its parameters to support automatic ID allocation.
- Clarified some parameter names and corrected a few inconsistencies.
- Added support for RegisterFunctionPtr in Matrix1Util_20.dll.
- The gdkc.exe "libraries" file now only requires a dll name to be listed for it to be included as part of the white-list, greatly simplifying the process required to add support for new libraries.
- Added documentation entries for the command-line tools "gdkc.exe" and "buildlibs.exe".

Quote: "Is this compatible with the AppUp dll provided by TGC for DBP apps, or will this need to be looked at in the future? If it is usable now, what additional files are needed to included in the final MSI Installer? - You have mentioned that you actually make use of files copied from a valid installation of DBP - will these need to be included? If so, is that actually allowed by the EULA of DBP?"

- The builddocs tool and source code is now bundled with the installer but will not receive any attention or documentation until after PureGDK 2.0 is released.
- Minor changes to libbuilder.h and plugin sources which are incompatible with previous releases.

* Intel AppUp Helper Plugin : http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/node/1097

PureGDK 2.0 Release Candidate 1
-------------------
Bug fixes:
- The gdkc.exe tool will no longer evaluate invalid string table entries which do not have exports.

Updates:
- Added registry keys to HKLM/HKCU which identify the PureGDK install path and version number for third-party developers.
- Added an uninstaller and an entry for it in the add/remove programs dialog in the control panel.
- The installer now expects a serial number to install. This number can be obtained from your user account at http://puregdk.com.
- Reverted renaming of "chroma" back to "color" as the key is actually 1-bit instead of a range of colors.
- Removed the builddocs tool and its source code from the PureGDK SDK for the time being.
- The installer now provides better context menu handling.
- Corrected some erroneous constants which did not match the documentation."
